iRacing has a wealth of different cars available for its users. From open-wheelers to stock cars, prototypes to sprint cars, there’s a bit of something for everyone. There’s even a host of old Legacy content that finds itself used in some leagues as well as in some off-season racing.
In this article we’ll look at each and every one of the over 100 cars available to you on the service, starting with what’s available to all members before looking at other cars by discipline and ending with looking at the “Legacy” content on the platform.

We’ll start off by looking at what iRacing provides new members with when starting out. Each car brings something different to the table, meaning you can whet your appetite before splashing out on a new ride of similar variety.
Cadillac CTS-V
The CTS-V is a 460-horsepower V8 Touring Car, one of the oldest on iRacing’s platform. It’s still got plenty of enjoyment to it though, with the challenge of blipping the throttle on downshift and managing the car through technical corners as well as fast sweepers.
NASCAR Truck Series Chevrolet Silverado (circa. 2013)
A taste of NASCAR racing for free, this Legacy Silverado has its own series in the unranked Pickup Cup. There you get a taste of the fun from NASCAR racing as well as the chaotic nature of wrecks breeding wrecks.
Dallara DW-12
Like with the free Silverado, the DW-12 is a Legacy car that gives you a taste of Indycar in the free Dallara Dash. Also like with the Silverado, you get the adrenaline of Indycar’s close racing as well as the risk of massive pile-ups that are commonplace in the regular Indycar series.
DIRTcar Dirt Street Stock
This is likely the only car you’ll race in when you’re a Dirt Oval Rookie, but it’s certainly very enjoyable. It’s an excellent way to get the taste of slipping and sliding on dirt-covered ovals that you’ll be doing more of in long-wheelbase Big Blocks and Late Models as well as the Sprint Cars.
FIA Cross Car
It’s almost like an F4 car that you can take on gravel. Lightweight, powerful, and tiny, it regularly has multiple splits and has races every half an hour. You can get up to speed in this free-to-drive Dirt Road car quickly, and when you’ve mastered the Cross Car you can carry all of your techniques over into Rallycross cars and Pro Trucks.
Formula Vee
A Rookie-level free Formula car for all members, the Formula Vee is the newest Beetle derivative on the platform. The classic open-wheeler creates some of the most entertaining racing, as well as the enjoyment that you can get of kicking the clutch and getting your shifts just right.
Legends Ford ’34 Coupe (Oval & Dirt Oval)
The Legends Ford is a car that’s enjoyable in both Oval and Dirt Oval series. Though the two handle differently, their compact nature and 5-speed sequential box present unique challenges of close and fast racing that rewards pinpoint accuracy compared to the slipping and sliding of the behemoth Street Stocks.
JR Motorsport Street Stock Panther
The Street Stock is a trial-by-fire in Rookie Oval racing. It’s a lot of fun, you can really knock eight bells out of yourself and others without killing the car. This absolute unit is enjoyable all the way up the ladder, so much so that it has two dedicated series with one for C-license and up and another for Rookies.
KIA Optima
A prelude to the TCR that has come to be loved by many, the KIA Optima is often an unsung hero of iRacing. It’s an entertaining tin-top to drive that, like the TCR, takes the most of any driver to be able to rag the front-wheel-drive car around any course.
Global Mazda MX-5 Cup
The MX-5 is an iRacing classic as much as it is just a general motoring classic. Like with the Oval-spec Street Stock, you can often find yourself leaning on your rivals in close racing without much damage to the car. Also like with the Street Stock, there are two series for you to enjoy with the Rookie series renowned for its chaos and a C-license series for those that are wary about losing Safety Rating.
Pontiac Solstice Club Sport
You don’t see many people in the Solstice these days, which is a bit of a shame. It’s a bit slower than the MX-5, but that makes it a bit easier to make the most of. If you’re looking for a first car to master on Road, the Pontiac is a nice car to do that with.
Radical SR8 V8
It’s Radical, dude! I mean, it really is. Break-neck prototype racing with an incredibly envious power-to-weight ratio, racing these Radicals against each other is incredibly difficult due to how hard they can be to handle at first. However, once you start to get it all connected, it’s got some of the best racing on the iRacing platform.
Ray FF1600
The next step up from the Formula Vee, the Ray FF1600 is the British equivalent of the popular starter car in the Americas. With a 1.6-litre Ford engine, this car carries little aerodynamics as it is without any wings and it can get loose as a result of having grooved tyres rather than slicks. But, if you know what you’re doing with it, you can triumph behind the wheel of this club racing legend.
SCCA Spec Racer Ford
The Spec Racer Ford was criminally under-used before its renovations. Despite losing its beloved H-pattern gearbox that made it such a challenging car to drive, the sequential 5-speed is much more accessible and means that the challenge is now about mastering that car more than it is simply a battle to survive.
Toyota GR86
Arriving on the platform before its competition debut in North America in 2023, the Toyota GR86 is the step up from the famous (or infamous) rookie-level Mazda. With a rear wing and some fancy electronics on top, it is the next step on your rear-wheel-drive journey to GT racers on the iRacing ladder. With some beating and banging, but also some harsh lessons about which battles you pick and which ones you might end up losing.
UMP Modified
Imagine the Dirt Street Stock, then turn it up to 11. With nearly twice the power, and an incredibly asymmetrical body shape, the UMP Modified is up at the extreme end of what to expect from long-wheelbase Dirt Oval racing.
Volkswagen Beetle Rallycross
Dominant when it arrived on the American Rallycross scene, the Beetle is the only car included in standard iRacing membership that finds itself in a wider class of cars. However, inside of this class with the Subaru WRX STI and the Ford Fiesta RS, the Beetle still finds itself very well-balanced within this class. It’s dominant at tracks such as Charlotte, and it’ll give the others a fair fight elsewhere too.
Volkswagen Beetle Rallycross Lite
A nice way to start out, this car is a 300-horsepower sibling of the 600hp monster. You can get to grips with some of the basics of rallycross, including setup at higher tiers, without the challenge of tons and tons of wheelspin.
Volkswagen Jetta
The Jetta is the perfect starting car as, unlike with other cars, you will never have to do any setup work with it. And that’s not because it appears in a fixed series, it’s because the only thing you can change on the car is the amount of fuel that’s in it! We’re told that some cars are all about driving skill, and in the Jetta you’ll never find anything truer.

Road Course – Formula
Dallara F3
The F3 car is incredibly fragile, but it’s still a lot of fun. That means that you have to watch out into the Retiffilio at Monza or La Source at Spa, but at the same time you can wring its neck through Eau Rouge and Raidillon or around the Boot of Watkins Glen beautifully.
Dallara IL-15 (INDY NXT)
The American single-seater pyramid is often a bit of a law unto itself. There are many pathways that take you up to INDYCAR, with some being sidesteps and some being steps up. INDY NXT is the final step before INDYCAR, with the Dallara IL-15 following the NTT INDYCAR Series to its stops around the country along with the occasional trip abroad. It runs on the same tracks as the Dallara IR-18, and requires much of the same techniques to master the machine.
Dallara iR-01
A made-for-game open-wheeler by Dallara, the iR-01 is “modern F1, but V10.” It’s really tough to drive at first, especially to learn that first gear is a launch gear and not one to drive in, but like most formula racers on the platform when you start to fly around Spa or Suzuka it’s as rewarding as ever.
Dallara IR18
The current-gen Indycar, complete with aeroscreen, is as demanding as you’d expect. You can have tight pack racing at 400km/h, but you also need to watch out for any contact as it will likely be race-ending at those speeds. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, that much is for sure!
FIA F4
When iRacing launched the FIA F4 as the iR-04, they did so in a way that would make it a fantastic early-level single-seater that could teach you the tricks of the aerodynamic trade. It wasn’t exactly the same as any of the FIA-homologated F4 cars, and that was what made it a unique challenge. However, once they collaborated with the FIA on it and rebadged it the FIA F4, it took on a whole new role as it served as a car that would be used to qualify for official FIA-sanctioned Esports series!
Formula Renault 2.0
The Formula Renault existed in a hotly-contested range of D-license Open Wheel series alongside the likes of the Skip Barber, USF2000, and Indy Pro 2000 Championships. However, whilst it isn’t Legacy content yet, it’s difficult to find it in any series outside of Hosted Events these days. Traditionally found on more European courses, the Renault gives you a sense of the kind of aero its big brother has while also teaching you the basics of wheel-to-wheel Open Wheel racing.
Formula Renault 3.5
This 3.5-litre V8 is a fan-favourite on the platform. It sounds and looks beautiful and, while the aerodynamics mean it’s likely to grip in basically any corner, it doesn’t discourage the close wheel-banging racing in the same way as the iR-01 or the various modern Formula One cars do.
Lotus 49
Any Grand Prix Legends fan will remember this icon fondly. The names attached to it are as iconic as the car itself: Clark, Hill, Fittipaldi, Rindt, Andretti. This historic race car requires car control skills like few others, as slipping and sliding is often the name of the game in this piece of motorsports folklore.
Lotus 79
Seen by many to be up at the pinnacle of Grand Prix racing, enjoy this loving recreation of Mario Andretti’s 1978 title-winning machinery. Experience the first F1 car to properly utilise ground effect aerodynamics and prepare to get your elbows out against your rivals.
Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance
Released in 2021, just as the world was focused on that season finale, the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance brought us the fastest F1 car on the platform. Serving as the car for the iRacing Grand Prix World Tour through 2022, it raced as some of the greatest Grand Prix locations such as Spa-Francorchamps, Hockenheimring, and… Bathurst? Yes, it went to Bathurst.
Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 E Performance
A car best-known for its lack of sidepods, it currently features on the Formula A Grand Prix Series and Tour. With the former running 25% and 50%-length distances for fixed and open-setup races respectively, the latter runs full-length 300km Grands Prix for all open-wheel aficionados to enjoy.
Skip Barber Formula 2000
Affectionately known as the “Skippy”, this 2-litre Open Wheeler relies more on mechanical grip to produce its close racing. Car control is everything in this car and the key to the tight action that is made from darting around tracks like Lime Rock Park.
Super Formula SF-23
Developed in conjunction with real-world racer and Red Bull Junior Driver Liam Lawson, the Super Formula series is an incredibly popular series around the world that has seen many of its stars take the step up to the top international racing series. A two-for-one deal means that, by picking up the SF-23, you can run either the Toyota-engined or Honda-engined variant whenever you choose!
Super Formula Lights
The step below Japan’s top single-seater series, the Super Formula Lights are based on a Formula 3 chassis and powered by a 3-cylinder Toyota engine made popular by the GR Yaris hot hatch. They promote close wheel-to-wheel racing with a beautifully unique soundtrack, helping you make that next step to the rapid Super Formula SF23.
Tatuus Indy Pro 2000 PM18
The first of two Tatuus cars on this list, this is probably the last stepping stone before Indycar racing on the platform. The 275-horsepower engine may be a bit lower than what you’d get from the IR-18, and the downforce might not be as potent, but it’s definitely a good way to hone the skills that you’ll need buckets of in the top-brass.
Tatuus USF17 2000
With more downforce compared to the “Skippy,” the engine doesn’t boast the same oomph as the PM18 but it can still catch you out. If you’re working your way up to Indycar after Rookies, this is the best next step complemented with the PM18.
Williams-Toyota FW31
The last current Road car on this list, the 2009 Formula One car doesn’t get much use anymore. Outside of Week 13, it’s not featured in any iRacing series. Still a ton of fun, and sometimes used in Leagues on the platform, it’s a loveable piece of mayhem from the time of screaming and high-revving V8s.
Road Course – Sportscar
Acura ARX-06
The first current GTP on this list, Acura’s ARX-06 was added as part of iRacing’s 2023 Season 4 Update. It won on debut, with a 1-2 result in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, and has won multiple times in IMSA this season. Seen as the best GTP when it comes to tracks with shorter straights, as well as one that is the best at corner turn-in and rotation, it’s a beast to handle and certainly a fan-favourite already.
Acura NSX GT3 EVO 22
A mid-engined beauty worthy of the legendary name, the NSX GT3 has been on the scene for nearly a decade. The EVO 22 was the final evolution of the platform, picking up wins in Super GT in Japan along with the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta and the Road to Le Mans at the legendary Circuit de 24 Heures du Mans. With a twin-turbo V6 pushing the machine around racing circuits worldwide, it is tricky to find as neat and compact a GT3 machine as the Acura.
Aston Martin DBR9 GT1
In endurance racing, there’s often little that’s more iconic than Aston Martin. iRacing’s sole car from the marque is the DBR9 GT1, twice a class-winner at Le Mans on top of other honours. The 6-litre V12 screams above and beyond that of its American V8 rivals, and when the massive rear wing sticks you through any corner you really feel like the next Darren Turner.
Aston Martin Vantage GT3 EVO
Aston Martin’s latest GT3 entry is a capable front-engined machine that loves to be thrown into corners with dependable consistency. It can take kerbs better than many of its rivals, and has the effective power delivery to boot. But it still boasts some of the cornering capabilities of its less front-heavy rivals, thanks to being relatively low-slung with a noticeable rear wing.
Aston Martin Vantage GT4
Only the second Aston Martin added to the service, the GT4 is a popular choice in the competitive GT4 class. It’s robust and can take a few hits before any noticeable damage, meaning that it’s one of the most dependable cars to wrestle around the track. It has a reputation for being a great starter car for a reason.
Audi 90 GTO
Perhaps the series with the least coverage in iRacing is the Kamel GT Championship. Driving classic cars from IMSA’s past, you get the choice of the GTO Audi 90 and the GTP Nissan ZX-T. The Audi handles like an absolute beast, with throttle being the best measure of being able to wrestle the car through each and every corner.
Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3
With new V10 GT3s becoming rarer and rarer these days, Audi’s final (for now) GT3 is something of a dying breed. Despite the German marque closing most of its motorsport programmes for its F1 entry, the R8 is still competitive on the world stage – as demonstrated by it contending for the overall win in the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hours.
Audi R18
In LMP1, you have two options from the peak of the LMP1 Hybrid era. The first is the Audi R18, whose regenerative braking is incredibly difficult to get used to at first but launches like nothing else once you’re up to speed with it.
Audi RS3 LMS
The pinnacle of European Touring Car racing, this TCR is a car that has seemingly endless turn-in from its front-wheel-drive design. It’s got a spec series of its own, in which you can get a taste for classic touring car racing, as well as featuring in the multi-class IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge alongside iRacing’s GT4s.
Audi RS3 LMS Gen2 TCR
Replacing the veteran RS3 LMS in 2026, Audi’s 2nd-generation RS3 TCR made its competition debut in 2021 and has won races and championships the world over. Champions in the machine include the veteran Tom Coronel and Supercars champion Chaz Mostert. With a unique rear wing design in the TCR class and a fresh set of upgrades to an already-successful platform, this is bound to be a fan favourite.
BMW M2 CSR
A free tin-top machine that competes from the Rookie level and up, BMW’s M2 CSR introduces you to aerodynamics and trick electronics from the comfort zone of a near-stock coupe. It allows you to experiment with different techniques, setups, and quick tricks that you will use in higher-level tin-tops and prototypes alike.
BMW M4 GT3
A car unique in its development, in that it was released in iRacing before it was in the real world, the BMW M4 GT3 is a brilliantly-balanced GT3 car. With little details including the Fanatec wheel that both feature in the real car and are available for purchase, as well as a nice baseline setup that keeps the brakes balanced around 50/50 and a TC setting that gives and gives and gives, it’s a great starter car for people getting into GT racing.
BMW M4 G82 GT4
BMW’s latest GT4 machine builds on the successful platform that the F82 platform was, and innovates using all of the lessons picked up along the way. Sharing many components with the big brother GT3, this car has been popularised in the real world thanks to the use of it by the Black Falcon team and their iconic lineup that includes British sim racers Jimmy Broadbent and Steve “SuperGT” Alvarez Brown.
BMW M4 F82 GT4 (Legacy)
A generation older than the GT3, and now replaced by the current G84, this M4 GT4 used to serve as a solid starter car. Unlike the Porsche and McLaren alternatives in its heyday, which only featured in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, the M4 GT4 also had a fixed-setup sprint-racing series in the BMW 12.0 Challenge. It’s a fun GT4 that, like its GT3 counterpart, grips endlessly and finds itself hard to spin despite its rear-wheel-drive build.
BMW M8 GTE
Oh lawd, he comin’! This big boy is a lot of fun to handle, but at the same time compared to a lot of the other GTEs it requires a lot of throwing around the place. It’s hard to lose control of but, compared to its rivals, it’s also harder to get control of.
BMW M Hybrid V8
The first of the all-new GTPs to land on the iRacing platform, BMW’s M Hybrid V8 arrived in the 2023 Season 1 build before it made its competition debut. The German marque’s top flight return in endurance racing after decades away from the sport, it’s proven to be popular in its class having established itself on the platform both in IMSA and in the single-make BMW M Sim Cup.
Cadillac V-Series.R GTP
Cadillac’s V-Series.R GTP became the first new Caddy in over a decade on iRacing – it was 2012 when the old CTS-V was released! And it’s released in the tip-top class as well. The Cadillac is remarkably consistent as a GTP, and that can be its greatest strength. You always know what you’re getting with the Cadillac, and in an endurance race that can be key.
Supercars Chevrolet Camaro Gen 3
With General Motors sunsetting the Holden brand a few years ago, Chevrolet took up the mantle with the third generation of the Supercars platform with its muscle car classic. Winning the first 2 Championships of the new era in 2023 and 2024 thanks to Brodie Kostecki and Will Brown, it has already more than made its mark on the scene down under.
Chevrolet Corvette C8.R GTE
The C8.R feels incredibly connected as a GTE. With the engine slap bang in the middle of the car, the weight distribution feels absolutely fantastic out of the box. To get the most out of it takes that little bit extra, but as a starter car it’s a lovely piece of kit.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R
After running a grandfathered GTE for the GTD classes, Chevrolet developed an all-new GT3 for the 2024 season. GTD Pro Champions in 2025, with successes elsewhere in the World Endurance Championship and numerous GT3 series, have been just desserts for the lengthy development process to ensure that the V8-powered mid-engined machine is at the very front of the running order.
StockCar Brasil Chevrolet Cruze
A best of all worlds, tin-top racing with high downforce and a push-to-pass system, the StockCar Brasil offerings are a fantastic and popular series for good reason. And, with a driver roster that included Felipe Massa, Gabriel Casagrande, and Nelson Piquet Jr., the Chevrolet is certainly a great option with good company in the real world.
Dallara P217
The LMP2 arguably gets the most mileage in the higher brasses of racings. Not only is it a prototype that’s easy to control and hard to lose control of with seemingly endless aerodynamic grip, it also competes in its own spec series as well as various multiclass series such as the IMSA iRacing Series.
Ferrari 296 Challenge
Making its official sim racing debut on the iRacing service in 2025, the Ferrari 296 Challenge builds on the tried-and-tested Ferrari Challenge formula that turns the extremes of GT racing up to 11. These cars have more fearsome aerodynamics, making them capable of achieving far higher speeds than the GT3s, but also feature less complex structures in terms of mechanical parts so that they’re easy to maintain for the gentleman driver. You will generally see these machines in the real world up against modern-day GT2s, much like the Porsche 911 Cup cars to their GT3 counterparts.

Ferrari 296 GT3
Winning headline endurance races in your debut season sounds like a tall order. But, when it comes to Ferrari, it’s almost par for the course. Ferrari’s 296 GT3 made its debut in Daytona in 2023, and a few months later it set records on its way to winning the 24 Hours of Nürburgring with Frikadelli Racing. So suave that it has its name engraved on the rear window, this elegant machine with its all-new V6 turns more heads with every corner.
Ferrari 488 GTE
The GTE version of the 488 will always be popular just because of the Prancing Horse badge it bears. Still lovably entertaining however, it serves as a bit of a halfway between the likes of the turn-in specialist Corvette and the hulking behemoth that is the M8.
Ferrari 499P
A unique car on the iRacing platform, given that it is the only active car in IMSA’s top class that does not compete in the real-world series, Ferrari’s LMH effort has a unique method of energy deployment that can make it an interesting challenge within the prototype class. You will need to learn the intricacies of the drivetrain in order to master this car fully, as the hybrid charges and deploys slightly differently to its rivals. But who’s going to complain when you’re driving the car that has dominated Le Mans in the past few years?
Ford GT GT2/3
In this 2-for-1 deal, you get a GT-racer that can both race against the GT1 legends from Aston Martin and Chevrolet as well the occasional GT3 race thanks to the joys of Hosted sessions. Both handle pretty differently, but one thing is consistent – when you get the corners just right, when you hook up the laps perfectly, they’re as good as any other car out there.
Ford GTE
Destined for the same kind of greatness that its namesake took 50 years beforehand, the 2016 class-winner at Le Mans sounds and looks as stunning as ever in iRacing. It’s fallen out of use nowadays, with only one class really fielding it, but it’s as lovable as ever and it still handles like an absolute dream in the ultra-competitive GTE field.
Ford Mustang FR500S
Rarely is a payware car as under-used as the FR500S. Recently switched out of rotation in favour of the current-generation GT4, this car was a challenge when it had a H-pattern and remained so when it switched to a sequential box. You have to blip on downshifts, as with some of the older non-Supercar tin-tops, but it’s got a lot of fun to tap into like the Cadillac CTS-V.
Supercars Ford Mustang Gen 3
The Blue Oval’s icon started going Supercars racing during Gen 2, and it has carried on its winning ways in Gen 3. Winning the title in a nail-biting Adelaide finale in 2025 thanks to Chaz Mostert’s expertise behind the wheel, it features a growing roster that includes all but one of the currently-active Supercars series champions.
Ford Mustang GT3
The Blue Oval’s return to top-flight GT racing came with arguably its most iconic model of car. And the Multimatic-developed machine has already taken some iconic wins, such as at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona and the 2025 Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis. Competing in series the world over, with names such as Prilaux and Mardenborough behind the wheel, a new chapter is being written in the story of one of the most iconic muscle cars.
Ford Mustang GT4
Ford’s GT4 Mustang platform makes the most of the V8 muscle car’s road-going platform to create a reliable and dependable machine. It can monster the wide array of kerbs that iRacing’s circuits can throw at you, and it can also be relatively-forgiving if you decide to try and throw it into the turns thanks to its heavy front end. It represents a firm stepping stone from the lower-powered tin-tops on the service to the monsters that are the GT3s.
Ford Mustang GT V8
The first of the V8 Supercars to feature on this list, the Mustang is also one of the most interesting cars from the class’ history. The two-door body sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the more traditional 4-door Holden, but both handle relatively similarly as you blip the throttle on the downshifts and dip it on upshifts to handle the variety of courses the series offers with confidence.
Holden Commodore ZB V8
The most recent and possibly final Holden to be added to the service, the Commodore is the latest in the long line of Supercars royalty. Like the Mustang it competed against, it can be very hard to handle at first. However, once you’ve gotten used to the unique situation you find yourself in with the gearbox, you’re pretty much set.
Honda Civic Type R
A front-wheel-drive car that is very tail-happy, the Honda Civic Type R is exactly what you’d expect from a tin-top monster. With fantastic turn-in for the tighter and twistier tracks, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this car was actually driven by the rear wheels!
Hyundai Elantra N
Much like with the Cadillac GTP, the Hyundai Elantra N is the most predictable touring car of the crop. It is excellent when the tracks have long straights, and also good when the corners are more progressive and less sharp. It can lean on other cars well due to its long wheelbase as well, which is very much par for the course in tin-tops.
Hyundai Veloster
Added after the Elantra N, but bizarrely the older of the two Hyundai touring cars, the Veloster is best known for being the car that Robert Wickens made his racing return behind the wheel of. It has the best of all worlds when it comes to its class, with the fuel efficiency of the Audi and the handling of the Honda yet the robustness of the Elantra. It has the shortest wheelbase in its class.
Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO
One marque with a sole model representing it is Lamborghini. The Italian giant brings its latest GT3 offering to the table however, building on the work that the Audi R8 LMS GT3 has to be a solid all-rounder. Compared to its German cousin it is much more stable in complex parts of the track, however it doesn’t sacrifice much from the domineering power of the Audi in the medium-speed stuff.
McLaren 570S GT4
An underrated cult classic in the GT4 class, the 570S brings fantastic cornering in the medium-speed stuff compared to its rivals. Much-maligned when it first arrived on the platform, it is an elegant machine with good weight distribution allowing you to make the most of the mid-engined goodness.
McLaren 720S GT3 EVO
Replacing the ageing MP4-12C GT3, McLaren’s latest GT3 entry is a rapid mid-engined machine designed with the word “efficiency” in mind. Finely balanced in aerodynamics and weight, mid-engined with a twin-turbo V8, this car glides through the corners and powers down the straights from Mulsanne to the Dipper and everything in between.
McLaren MP4-12C GT3
The car dubbed by Top Gear as the “fax machine,” this McLaren GT3 is as flame-spitting as ever and looks and sounds iconic. Well-balanced despite being one of the oldest GT3s out there, it’s still got golden hours and moments of joy and glory over its brand-spanking-new counterparts. It’s just hard to find those outside of Hosted sessions these days.
McLaren MP4-30
This Formula One racer once represented the pinnacle of open-wheel racing on the platform. With DRS, multiple tyre compounds, and a complicated hybrid system to boot, there’s no better way to celebrate the “Project 4” era on iRacing than with this Grand Prix racer. Even if it features what became affectionately known as the “GP2 engine”.
Mercedes-AMG GT3 2020
Holding the three-pointed star up high in the GT class, the Mercedes-AMG GT3 2020 has been a favourite for many drivers. A very dependable car, it remained at the top of the class despite numerous adjustments to the Balance of Performance as well as overhauls to the aerodynamics and the tyre model on the GT3.
Mercedes-AMG GT4
Another addition to the popular GT4 class, Mercedes-AMG’s offering can take plenty of beating and banging as it battles in some of the closest racing on iRacing’s platform. Whilst it’s not quite as intense as the Touring Cars on the service, it does take a robust car to keep at the pointy end of a fierce field.
Nissan GTP ZX-T
The second IMSA classic to feature on this list, Nissan’s prototype is from a long-gone era of prototype history. The aerodynamic grip is often endless, but the turbocharged V6 engine will often give you that kick over the edge if you don’t take care with the throttle.
Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR
Porsche’s GT4 challenger is typically top-of-the-class in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. Powerful in a straight line and still pretty confident in the corners, the best way to drive this thing is jumping on the loud pedal out of the corner and positioning the car defensively through them.
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992.1)
Porsche’s 992 Cup car arrived as the latest in a long line of a successful tried-and-tested formula: a GT3 with less downforce and no driving aids. It’s a popular car in endurance series, as well as in its famous single-model series. It takes a good hand or two to be able to wrestle this beast successfully, but it’s very rewarding to drive if you can.
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992.2)
The latest Porsche Cup car doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but instead it refines the concept and adds some shine on top. One part of the updates makes the car more powerful, more streamlined, and increases the grip and downforce generated by the car. Another part makes it easier for the recent converts to the one-make series, as it adds Traction Control and a Anti-Lock Braking System that mean that you can push the car a little bit further without being punished.
Porsche 911 GT3 R (992)
Stuttgart’s latest offering in the GT3 is as well-loved as any rear-engined car in the class. It’s a red herring in the class of front-engined and mid-engined cars, and the weight balance can give a driver an excellent handling advantage. It does, however, reward those with a delicate touch behind the wheel. Too much steering, especially off-throttle, and the car could be facing the other way rather quickly.
Porsche 911 RSR GTE
Porsche’s GTE challenger brings an extra kick of rear-engined goodness to the field. In a field where ABS is non-existent and the entry and exit of corners are the best place to make up ground, the 911 is able to get it back going again better than its rivals.
Porsche 919 Hybrid
Porsche’s 919 competes for LMP1 honours against the Audi R18. Instead of aggressively harvesting energy under braking, this car charges its battery through kinetic and thermal energy for use on the straights to reel in its VAG rival.
Porsche 963 GTP
Porsche’s return to the top class of endurance racing is a very popular return. And, if you drove the old 919 LMP1 on the platform, the 963 is a very welcome addition to your collection. Whilst the GTPs aren’t as fast as the old LMP1s, the 963 carries the same handling characteristics as your old flame does. It’s pretty apt that the 963 has now arrived on the platform to replace the outgoing Le Mans winner.
Porsche Mission R
The future is electric, or so they say. And, with Porsche’s Mission R, you can experience that future on the race track. With four-wheel-drive and an active rear spoiler, there are lots of fancy tricks under the hood of this electric wagon. It’s the only electric vehicle in iRacing and, much like the diesel cars on the platform like the old Jetta and R18, it also has a cult following for it.
Radical SR10
Replacing the old SR8, the Radical SR10 is a modern piece of open-cockpit prototype racing. It’s not as aggressive as the older SR8, but it also isn’t any less of a challenge for its drivers. Its smaller size means that you can be side-by-side for longer and you don’t have to worry about running out of space on the track, and it makes the series as competitive as it ever was with the old SR8.
Renault Clio R.S. V
If you’re looking to be the next Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 driver, Toto Wolff reckons this might be the best car to start with! A fun way to get to grips with tin-top racing, these small and mighty hot hatchbacks can lean on each other and get right into each other’s doors without breaking a thing. The turbocharged front-wheel-drive combination might be tricky to understand at first, but once you get to grips with cornering and negotiating the track you’ll be sorted for driving any touring cars.
RUF RT 12R (AWD, C-Spec, RWD, Track)
Ruf’s masterpiece is the last of the Porsches on this list, but it’s a bit of a Swiss Army Knife in that it comes as 4 cars in 1! The AWD and RWD cars boast a six-speed H-box with a toss-up between the more-powerful RWD and the more-agile AWD, whereas the C-Spec and Track cars carry six-speed sequential boxes. The C-spec is a bit of a halfway between the road and the top-line race-ready Track car, and each of the cars find themselves a bundle of fun in each a unique way.
StockCar Brasil Toyota Corolla
The rival offering to the Chevrolet Cruze, Toyota’s Corolla comes with Gazoo Racing branding on top. Add on to this that the silhouette is driven by the likes of Rubens and Eduardo Barrichello, Tony Kanaan, and Ricardo Zonta, and you’ve got something that you’ll see both on the track and on some of the most popular streaming channels too!

Ovals
Many cars that have massive Road followings are also Oval racers, such as the Dallara IR-18 and the Tatuus open-wheelers the Indy Pro 2000 PM18 and the USF17 2000. The vehicles on this list are Oval by design, however they also sporadically race on Road courses.
NASCAR 1987 Buick LeSabre
The Buick is best known for the liveries it ran, especially for the Stavola Brothers Racing team, but it also won at the hands of the popular Bobby Allison in the Summer Daytona race of 1987. It’s the only Buick on the platform, and it has plenty of competition in its General Motors stablemates from Chevrolet and Pontiac. Why not give the old weapon a blast around a superspeedway?
NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet Camaro
Nothing says American Muscle in the way that the Chevy Camaro does. The Cup Series version is the top dog at the moment in Camaro action, and while it handles the same as the other Cup cars it looks different.
Next Gen NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet Camaro
These cars caused a real upset to the stock car formula when they arrived in 2022, with sequential 5-speed shifters and symmetrical bodywork to replace the 4-to-the-floor asymmetrical tradition. You can push this car even more than its predecessors without it fighting back, and whilst it’s be easier to get up to speed in than the previous generation of Cup cars, that little bit extra means all the more difference.
NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Chevrolet Camaro
The O’Reilly Auto Parts cars are slightly less powerful than their Cup counterparts, but I’d argue that the designs vary a lot more car-to-car. The Camaro is the stockiest of the three, looking a lot more squared-off than the other cars.
ARCA Menards Chevrolet Impala (Retired)
ARCA Brakes: two words that are enough to petrify any oval racer. They’re a lot of fun to race and can take a bit of a beating, but they crash. A lot. You can drive them on all kinds of Ovals, and even on the odd Road course as well. It’s time to enjoy some awesome stock car racing from the turn of the millennium!
NASCAR 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Do it for Dale! With the Monte Carlo, you can drive the same machinery Jr does in iRacing whilst also mimicking the Intimidator Sr. It’s a real beast to wrestle around the tracks, but it takes a proper beating to give it any real problems.
NASCAR Gen 4 Chevrolet Monte Carlo – 2003
Gen4 racing never felt so good on the iRacing platform when they introduced the period-correct 2003 machines to the service. With the Chevrolet, you can picture yourself as Dale Earnhardt Jr. or Jimmie Johnson as they took the fight to Pontiacs, Dodges, and their legendary rivals in the Blue Oval. Chevrolet won the majority of races in 2003, but ultimately fell short of winning the final full-season points Championship.
NASCAR Late Model Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
Late Model racing is predominately on short ovals, which in most races will be more incident-filled than the speedways and superspeedways. A stepping-stone on the way up the NASCAR ladder, it’s a great way to get used to the heat of close-quarters stock car combat.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Chevrolet Silverado
The latest version of the Silverado included in basic membership, the Silverado has a neat little grill that differentiates it from its rivals. The most adaptable of the current generation of NASCAR vehicles, the trucks are as used to Road courses as Dirt Ovals, as well as the variety of Oval courses that the rest of the ladder visits.
ARCA Chevrolet SS
iRacing bringing the current ARCA platform to the series means revisiting the Chevrolet model that preceded the Gen6 Camaro. Chevy’s SS is still successful on the ovals in the ARCA Menards Series, with drivers such as Brenden Queen winning behind the wheel of the bowtie’s machine.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Ford F-150
The F-150 is the oldest name in the truck series, the only one to have competed since the outset in 1995. With a bigger grill complemented by its lights, you can also tell which one this is compared to its rivals in Chevy and Toyota.
ARCA Ford Mustang
Whilst some drivers still use the old Fusion body in ARCA, most Ford drivers will run the Mustang. Which makes total sense, given the platform’s legendary credentials as a muscle car. In recent years, it has seen drivers such as Frankie Muniz, TV’s Malcolm in the Middle, behind the wheel of a Blue Oval machine.
NASCAR Cup Series Ford Mustang
The ‘Stang is iconic, not only in the muscle scene but in the motoring scene overall. The Cup Series version boasts the standout grille as well as a neat little Michigan plate on the back of it as a nod to the Blue Oval’s origins.
Next Gen NASCAR Cup Series Ford Mustang
The Next Gen Mustang has a more prominent grille on the front end of it compared to the current-gen ones, and like the other Next Gen cars will be able to handle far more challenges with far greater ease.
NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Ford Mustang
The O’Reilly Auto Parts ‘Stang is where the most aesthetic differences to its rivals stand out. The features around the lights and grilles are much more accentuated, meaning that it looks a lot more like the showroom car than it looks like the Camaro or Supra that it races against.
NASCAR Gen 4 Ford Taurus – 2003
Fancy yourself a bit of a Matt Kenseth? The NASCAR Hall of Famer won the 2003 Winston Cup behind the wheel of a Ford Taurus whilst only winning 1 of the 36 points-paying races. He was one part of a legendary Roush 5-car lineup that year with Mark Martin, Ricky Rudd, Kurt Busch, and the late Greg Biffle as a Rookie.
NASCAR 1987 Ford Thunderbird
A car so fast that it led to NASCARs being slowed down forever, you’ve always got to have a bit of Bill Elliott to offset the classic Dale Earnhardt. With his iconic 1987 Coors Thunderbird, iRacers get the opportunity to relive standout battles from stock car history.
Late Model Stock
The Late Model Stock car has always been a popular choice for racing on short ovals. However, through a recent partnership with the CARS Late Model Stock Tour that is championed by iconic NASCAR drivers such as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick, iRacing has been able to overhaul their popular 500-horsepower weapons and bring them a new lease of life. With less power than their counterparts in the Super Late Model Stock, to drive this car on its limit you need to understand how best you can deploy every one of those horses.
Mini Stock
Have you ever wanted to drive a Street Stock, but slightly smaller? The Mini Stock is a lot of fun to get up to speed with, often making its name on shorter ovals whilst allowing you to practice the techniques that you will be making the most of in the bigger and heavier Street Stocks.
NASCAR 1987 Pontiac Grand Prix
What’s greater than The King? How about driving his machine? The Pontiac Grand Prix was driven by Richard Petty in the 1987 NASCAR Cup season, recording 9 top-five finishes in the year as well as 2 wins with Rusty Wallace at Watkins Glen and Riverside. If you’re looking for a classic NASCAR stock car to drive, why not one that was driven by royalty?
ARCA Toyota Camry
The ARCA Toyota Camry helped serve as a step up into the NASCAR series for Joe Gibbs Racing juniors in Riley Herbst and Ty Gibbs, with the latter taking the title in 2020 ahead of taking this Xfinity title in his Rookie season in 2021. The old Toyota Camry body, reminiscent of the same style driven by Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. to their titles, is a welcome sight on ARCA’s circuits.
NASCAR Cup Series Toyota Camry
The only name to feature throughout the Sixth Generation of NASCAR’s top brass cars, the Camry name has been recognisable since its first appearance in the previous generation of cars in 2007. Associated with double-champion Kyle Busch, the only title winner while behind the wheel of a Camry, it’s also got a massive amount of representation in the current Cup Series.
Next Gen NASCAR Cup Series Toyota Camry
Toyota’s latest Cup offering mimics its road offering’s front end a lot more prominently. It’s fun to see it square up to the newest offerings of its rivals and wonder what could be when these hit the real tracks next season.
NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Toyota Supra
Is that a Supra?! It is! TRD’s latest offering for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series certainly stands out a lot compared to the rival offerings from Chevy and the Blue Oval, and with the three all equal on performance why not race in style? It certainly helps it make more sense when you’re sliding it all sorts.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Toyota Tundra
The Tundra has the most pronounced grille of the three trucks on offer, with the big chrome nose standing out in the crowd of Silverados and F-150s. You want to get noticed in a truck race? Drive the Tundra, simple as.
C&R Racing Silver Crown Car
With a power-to-weight ratio that would make even the high-end hypercars wince, this tiny car produces over 800 horsepower whilst weighing in at just under 750kg. It tends to max out just under the 300kph mark, but it gets there properly fast. They’ll stick to the oval as much as they stick to the car behind them, but lose control at your peril.
Sprint Car
A bit more tame than the Silver Crown, this Sprint Car is all about teaching you tyre wear. Still putting in around the 800 horsepower mark, patience with the throttle is needed to make sure you don’t light up the rear tyres like a Christmas tree and burn through the rubber like nobody’s business.
SRX
The SRX was a short-lived oval series that pitted stock car stars past and present against each other on a blend of paved and dirt ovals. With Ilmor V8s under the hood and a fearsome rear wing at the back, you too could win like a Stewart or a Labonte or an Elliott.
Street Stock – Casino & Eagle
The Street Stock scene grew even more with the addition of two new body types to go alongside the Panther variant. Both bodies harken back to the days of 80s stock car racing, with V8 motors trading paint and banging doors at an oval near you. These cars are beating-and-banging stock car racing at its purest.
Super Late Model
The Super Late Model is the regular Late Model car with the wick turned way up. Way, way up. Again, this is a car for the short Ovals that iRacing offers. However, with the pack racing close, you need to make sure you don’t tangle with someone as much as you need to make sure they don’t tangle with you.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series RAM Truck
NASCAR’s newest manufacturer arrives on the platform in 2026, coinciding with the return of the now-Stellantis marque to NASCAR’s national series for the first time in over a decade. The real-world trucks, headed by powerhouse Kaulig Racing, feature drivers of years gone by as well as future stars on the stock car scene.
NASCAR Whelen Tour Modified Car (& SK Modified)
The Modifieds can be a lot of fun to run door-to-door in. With this car you again get two cars, with the SK Modified a lower-power version of the full-blown NASCAR Whelen Tour Modified. It’s a real challenge to wring the necks of these around the shorter courses that they call home, but it’s a real ton of fun to do so.
Dirt Road
Ford Fiesta RS
Based off of World Rally Championship technology, this Rallycross Supercar swaps the 1.6-litre 300-horsepower engine for a whopping 560-horsepower motor of 2-litre capacity. It launches like a rocket and, with the short wheelbase, handles with pinpoint accuracy too.
Lucas Oil Pro 2 & Pro 4 Trucks
The trucks are an absolute hoot and a half. With the Pro 2 and the Pro 4, you get the same kind of exhilarating jumps and bumps that the Pro 2 Lite gives you but with more power. Much, much more.
Subaru WRX STI
If you ask someone to think of rallying, they’ll almost always think of Subaru. The WRX STI that features in iRacing is built by the same Vermont SportsCar lot that take the Subarus rallying these days, and boy is this thing fun to slide around. You’ll have yourself feeling like a Colin McRae or Petter Solberg in no time drifting this on rallycross courses the world over.

Dirt Oval
DIRTCar Big Block Modified (& 358 Modified)
Much like the Modifieds that were mentioned earlier in the Ovals section, the Big Block comes in two variants for the races around short Dirt Ovals. The 358 is a de-tuned and more grassroots version of the 750-horsepower Big Block, but even then the 358 boasts in excess of 500 horsepower to give the car that extra kick as you’re sliding through and out of corners.
DIRTCar Late Model Cars (& World of Outlaws Late Model)
Offset and angled for maximum downforce whilst sideways on the loose stuff, you get three different cars for the price of one. The Limited variant pumps out 400 horsepower to get you started, with the Pro turning the wick up to 700 horses and the Super variant from World of Outlaws carries a whopping 850 horsepower.
Dirt Micro Sprint
Sprint Cars are a tricky beast to get up to speed in. They’re small, light, but incredibly powerful machines. Not to mention the winged variants, which have tons of adjustable downforce to boot. The Micro Sprint cars allow you to learn the ropes with slightly less power and less risk. It gives you the perfect opportunity to pick up techniques such as holding the slide, keeping the right throttle level, and understanding the perfect line through the grooves.
Dirt Midget
The Midget is a good way to get started with the Dirt Sprint Cars, with the simple essence of wheels in the four corners on a light frame. It’s not as on-the-edge as the Sprint Cars from DIRTCar and USAC, but it’s the best way to avoid throwing yourself into the deep end with them.
Dirt Mini Stock
If you’re trying to learn the nuances of different types of Dirt Oval car, the Mini Stock is a good car to do that with. The small size is familiar to Sprint Car racers, whilst the general shape of it can be helpful for the bigger Street Stocks as well as Late Models and Modifieds.
DIRTCar Winged Sprint Car
The Winged Sprint Car is the fastest kind of Sprint Car that’s on the Dirt Ovals. There are three variants of the DIRTCar frame, each carrying different engines. The first is 305 cubic inches, putting out 458 horsepower, with the 360 variant popping out 720 horses and the 410 CI version boasting an impressive 892 horsepower. The downforce keeps the car planted in the corners, an extra challenge at the top end of Sprint Car racing.
USAC Non-Winged Sprint Cars
The USAC Sprint Car doesn’t boast the same kind of power from its two versions that the DIRTCar does – its 360 Cubic Inch motor matches its opposite number at 720 horsepower but the 410 variant comes in slightly lower than its match at 821 horses. However, without the same kind of aero helping to keep you planted and going through the corners, sometimes you’ll count yourself lucky that you don’t have the same kind of break-neck power behind you.
Legacy Content
Audi R8 LMS GT3
Audi’s GT3 offering gives you V10 power from a mid-engined beast. Whilst it can get quite slippy through gradients and inclines around tracks like Bathurst and Spa, the turn-in that you can get at flatter courses makes it a weapon-of-choice for many.
BMW Z4 GT3
I know a couple of people that have run BMW’s GT racers in the real world, and they’ve all said the same thing to me: nothing beats the sound of the Z4. In iRacing it sounds wonderful, it’s still used in some Leagues despite iRacing replacing it with the M4, and it’s enjoyable to throw through the corners.
Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo
Now replaced by the modern Ferrari 296 GT3, this particular Prancing Horse is still having its last hurrahs on some of the endurance circuits. Released in 2020 to transform the ageing 2016 model, its fancy electronics and changes to aerodynamics revitalised the 488 platform for a couple of years before Fiorano let their newest stallion out to play.
Ferrari 488 GT3
“Ask a child to draw a car, and certainly he will draw it red.” This old GT3 car is one of the oldest in the platform, so much so that its replacement has since been replaced, but it can be a fun drive in the occasional Hosted session.
NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Chevrolet Camaro (2014)
One of three older O’Reilly Auto Parts cars, from the time before composite body panels became the norm, these things are used occasionally and like to barge themselves around a little bit. This one probably looks least like a Camaro out of any NASCAR on the platform, but the small front end certainly makes it look pretty mean.
NASCAR Nationwide Series Chevrolet Impala (2012)
From the tail end of the Car of Tomorrow era, this car is a pretty cool halfway between iRacing’s ARCA-tuned Impala and the current-generation Cup Cars. It sits on its own from the generation, with the only other CoT the early-generation Impala, but can make for some fun one-model races.
Chevrolet Corvette C7 Daytona Prototype
From the pre-DPi era of prototype racing in the states, the C7 Daytona Prototype generates a heap of downforce from its aerodynamics and is filled with 5.5-litre V8 motor to give it that burst of power when it needs it. While it doesn’t get much running these days, it’s still pretty enjoyable to race.
NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet Impala Car of Tomorrow (2009)
Running in the spoiler trim instead of the controversial rear wing that defined the start of the CoT era, this car doesn’t produce the closest of racing but that’s one of the many challenges in and of itself. It’s a real task to get close and make the move on a rival in this machine.
NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet SS (2013)
From the start of the current generation of NASCAR, the 2013 SS is capable of the closer pack racing that wasn’t so possible in the Car of Tomorrow era. It’s not used so much anymore as most NASCAR racers will use the latest Cup cars, but it’s still something that packs a punch.
Dallara IR-05
Another car from Indycar’s history, the IR-05 still stands the test of time today. While it doesn’t get the love nor the use that the DW-12 gets as a Legacy Indycar, it’s still a fun reminder of the history of Indycar from the end of the CART/IRL rivalry that dominated the 90s and 00s and when the two open-wheel series converged once again.
V8 Supercar Ford FG Falcon (2014)
The Falcon name is almost as iconic in Supercars as the Commodore it competed against. The old V8 Supercars don’t get much love on the platform, but if you want a taste of what came before the Mustang Supercar this is your weapon of choice.
V8 Supercar Ford Falcon (2009)
Maybe an older Supercar is the thing that takes your fancy? This one sadly doesn’t have a rival from Holden to compete with, but if you’re looking to run a single-model Supercar series this might be the choice for you.
NASCAR Cup Series Ford Fusion (2016)
Without an early Gen-6 Cup Camry, only the Fusion keeps the Chevrolet SS honest in its class. Relive some classic battles on the various Ovals and Road courses that iRacing has to offer.
NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Ford Mustang (2016)
The second of three cars from the last generation of second-tier NASCAR machinery, the Mustang name arrived on the scene with the generation. Enjoy the return of Ford’s muscle cars to the world of NASCAR with this part of O’Reilly Auto Parts’s past.
V8 Supercar Holden VF Commodore (2014)
The Commodore is probably the most iconic name in Supercars history. If you don’t want to splash out on the current Holden contender, you can always pick up this older version that won Bathurst three times in a row between 2015 and 2017 for a taste of General Motors machinery.
HPD ARX-01c
The HPD was the second-tier prototype car before being benched when the Dallara P217 launched. Lot of people still love it though, and it get a fair bit of use here and there in Hosted Sessions and Leagues.
Mazda MX-5 Cup (2010)
The older version of Mazda’s MX-5 is still as much as the current one, however it comes with a couple of small differences outside of the base model. Chief among these is the use of the H-pattern gearbox, which adds an extra challenge to shifting that the current MX-5 doesn’t have.
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3
The Merc’s confident front-end makes it stand out from the class around some of the trickier conditions the GT3s race in. Whilst it may make it more likely to understeer than a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, it’s much harder to push over the limit than its rivals.
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (991)
Porsche’s Cup car in iRacing is one of the most challenging GT racers out there. The challenge comes from having less aerodynamics than its regular GT3 counterpart, as well as no fancy driving aids like Traction Control or Anti-Lock Brakes. To drive this car at its peak, you needs to find your limits as well as the car’s.
Porsche 911 GT3 R (991)
The first Porsche GT3 to arrive on the platform, and the Flat 6 still sounds as stunning. But it’s not only that, the rear-engined beast is tricky to tame through corners such as Brands Hatch’s Paddock Hill but has fantastic traction in the slower corners.
Pro Mazda
The Pro Mazda feels like a go-kart with wings attached. The tiny thing is a bundle of joy as you take it around shorter, tighter-knit circuits, with the potential to go side-by-side for full laps of most tracks.
Riley MkXX Daytona Prototype
The Riley is another staple of Legacy Racing, the prototype being one of the earliest cars to join the platform. It doesn’t get much in the way of runtime, but it’s always fun to drive a piece of iRacing history like this.
NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Toyota Camry (2015)
Last, but by no means least, is this old O’Reilly Auto Parts offering by Toyota. Since the Camry was replaced by the Supra for 2019, this is the only chance you’ll get in iRacing to drive a Camry that’s not made for the NASCAR Cup Series.
And that’s the Ultimate iRacing Car List! Thank you for reading, and we hope that it helps you pick your next motor. Make sure to follow us to keep informed on the latest guides in simracing.
